Description

Many of us find the study of anatomy to be intimidating and overwhelming - it is a vast subject! In this online Pilates workshop, Lesley Powell breaks things down into digestible pieces by using several unique approaches to her explanation and demonstration to offer this complete Introduction to Anatomy.

Lesley is a teacher of teachers with years of experience who has trained some of the best in the business. In this workshop, she draws on her studies with anatomy instructor Irene Dowd and combines that experience with her own Pilates practice and painting background to present a great overview of anatomy as it relates to Pilates.

Lesley uses the skeleton, drawings, graphics, her one of a kind watercolors, and real bodies to explain the anatomy from many different perspectives. She then works with numerous models where she demonstrates her eye for picking up detail and subtleties in the different bodies, how to correct and why, and then connects this back to the anatomy and how to use the knowledge of the body to make it real and practical for you to use with your clients right away.

Learn anatomy using all of your senses to give you a different understanding of your body and applications to a sound movement practice.

Beth O Applicable learning vs. books I previously used. Lesley brings to life movement and placement of bones and muscles as it pertains to actual Pilates sessions. Glad I chose Forever Access.

ann s Very informative. Drawings were an added bonus for increased understanding.

Ritsuko H It was a very good Anatomy workshop. Especially it was nice to see how we use Pilates apparatus to asses clients body imbalance then approach their issues.

Donna H The class was very informative and easy to follow.

Matias B Good workshop

Christine R I found the workshop helpful overall. Some handouts for the anatomy might be helpful. I found that I couldn't draw some of the physiological structures very well. I especially liked the tests to perform on clients and structural clues.

Maitena S Very interesting review on anatomy and the implementation in our daily Pilates workouts. The examples are useful and precise the most important thing is to be encouraged to practice and teach them easily.

Bora J Thank you!

amy A good overview of the bone structure as it relates to muscle function and movement patterns. I appreciate Lesley's cues and imagery!

CHRISTINA J A wealth of information!

tiffany r Oh man, Lesley Powell is the perfect nutty professor. Obviously, she knows her stuff... but I'm super glad she flubs just like the rest of us. Sometimes I get cotten-mouth in front of clients when I get tongue-tied - but this lady gave me inspiration to keep on trucking. After all, I know my stuff.
